Kit Kat

Some of you have may have tried the delicious green tea Kit Kats I've brought home from Japan. They are a big hit, some of you visitors have even brought them back as souvenirs yourselves. I think they taste like green tea ice cream mixed with white chocolate. They have a ton of different Kit Kat flavors in Japan including things like Mango (not as good). And they have seasonal flavors sold during limited times as well.

Just read this blurb about Kit Kats in Japan and thought it was interesting:

Nestlé Kit Kat bars are more than a candy here; they're a token of good luck. The association between the red-packaged chocolate treat and a wish for success evolved from the similarity between the product's name and the Japanese term for good luck, "kitto katsu." Students here often eat a Kit Kat just before they take their school exams. Sales driven by this ritual were so good that Nestlé has come out with Kit Kats packaged in blue -- a color symbolic of heaven to the Japanese. And this has spawned a new ritual in which students eat blue Kit Kats before an exam, as a kind of prayer.\
